Change the Lease on Your Deployment

To change the lease on your deployment, you use the Deployment APIs to make a POST request with a new lease expiration date.

Prerequisites

• Verify that all general prerequisites and prerequisites for the Service Broker Deployment service have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for API Use Case Examples.
• Verify that you have the ID of the deployment you want to reconfigure. See Deploy a Cloud Template with Contents Inline.

Procedure

1. Assign your deployment ID variable.

   deployment_id='<your_deployment_id>'

2. Get a list of actions available for your deployment.

   curl -X GET \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/actions?apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

3. Examine the response.
   • Confirm that you see the action "name": "ChangeLease".
   • "valid":true indicates that the action is valid for the deployment.
4. Assign the action ID variable for the action "name": "ChangeLease".

   action_id='Deployment.ChangeLease'

5. List the deployment actions for the action ID .

   curl -X GET \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/actions/$action_id?apiVersion=$api_version \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

6. Examine the response. The schema field shows the format of the input for an action on the deployment.
7. To change the lease on the deployment, assign the lease expiry date using the format specified in the schema as in the following example.

   lease_expiry_date=2021-05-15T23:11:00Z

8. Change the lease expiration date.

   curl -X POST \
     $url/deployment/api/deployments/$deployment_id/requests \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
     -d '{
       "actionId":"Deployment.ChangeLease",
       "inputs": {
           "Lease Expiration Date": "'"$lease_expiry_date"'"
       }
   }' | jq "."

9. Examine the response and assign the request ID.

   request_id='<your_request_id>'

10. Check the status of the request.

    curl -X GET \
      $url/deployment/api/requests/$request_id?apiVersion=$api_version \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" | jq "."

    If the request is successful, the response shows "status":"SUCCESSFUL".
